Gucci fights for guccifragrance.com domain name

The House of Gucci founded by Guccio Gucci in 1921,submitted a complaint with WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center,claiming rights over guccifragrance.com .

Obviously,Gucci owns many trademark registrations for the "Gucci" name .

 

Therefore,the company can easily demonstrate the disputed domain name, guccifragrance.com is confusingly similar to its trademark .
Moreover it seems that the respondent,which in this case is Bravia Stoli,used the domain name in bad faith.
The disputed domain name resolves to a website featuring click-through links,which resolves further to other websites.These websites compete with Gucci's products .
All in all it seems that Gucci has many chances to win this case.The Panel is the one who will decide either the domain name will be transferred from the respondent to the complainant or if the respondent has rights over this domain name and should remain the property of Bravia Stoli.
